Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Reshiram sells for $8,480 against $175 raw: a $8,305 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($695) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.

| 50% | $4,587 | +$4,362 |
